Changing Thumbnails and Fanart
#1
Question 
I'm a new user of XBMC using win7 x64 and the documentation says that thumbnails are in the folder: userdata\Thumbnails. I may be crazy and have done a search of all my drives and their is no folder under userdata named thumbnails, in fact I only have one folder calledTongueictureIcon. I have been through all of the folders in Program Files\x86\XBMC and as I mentioned I did a search and can't find them. I have a few thumbnails of movies which are incorrect and using Yamj and Yanfoe, I could change the nfo's. HelpHuh?

As Hitcher points out your looking in the wrong place but it would take you ages to find the right one anyway and that's not how you change artwork you do that via XBMC GUI

Go to movie info in your library and either use get thumb/fanart or use refresh, refresh is the easiest and quickest option to update artwork and movie info if you have local artwork and nfo

I'm not sure why my search didn't find it. I have several thumbnails which were incorrect and I wanted to fix them. Thanks Again

They will be in your userdata folder in the location below inside a bunch of other folders they wont be jpg's they will be tbn files (jpg's with the extension changed to tbn)

\userdata\Thumbnails\Video

If you want tbn files to have thumbnails and open in windows you have to make a simple change to your registry first

Like I said you don't change artwork that way

if you were just doing a normal search, it would not come up because by default the %appdata% folder is hidden

if you click on the windows start globe, and in the field type %appdata% you will be taken to the correct location.
